New York Times bestselling author Michael Grant unleashes the gritty
and powerful conclusion to the Front Line series and evokes the brutal
truth of World War II: War is hell. An epic tale of historical
reimagining, perfect for fans of Code Name Verity and Salt to the
Sea.
Courage, sacrifice, and fear have lead Rio, Frangie, and Rainy through
front-line battles in North Africa and Sicily, and their missions are
not over. These soldiers and thousands of Allies must fight their
deadliest battle yet--for their country and their lives--as they descend
into the freezing water and onto the treacherous sands of Omaha Beach.
It is June 6, 1944. D-Day has arrived.
No longer naive recruits, these soldier girls are now Silver Star
recipients and battle-hardened. Others look to them for guidance and
confidence, but this is a war that will leave sixty million dead. Flesh
will turn to charcoal. Piles will be made of torn limbs. The women must
find a way to lead while holding on to their own last shreds of belief
in humanity.
